Direct School Admission (DSA-Sec): Attend electronic interviews or auditions Overview
2. Selection outcomes
Your child will find out whether they’ve been selected by Monday, 13 September 2021. There are three possible outcomes and some students may have offers from multiple schools:
| Confirmed Offer |
Your child has a reserved place in the secondary school. To gain admission, they still need to opt for the school during the school preference submission period and achieve a PSLE score that qualifies them for a course offered by the school. |
| Wait List |
Your child will be given a reserved place in the school if other students turn down their confirmed offers. They will still need to opt for the school during the school preference submission period and achieve a PSLE score that qualifies them for a course offered by the school. In previous years, about half the students on the schools’ wait lists were eventually given a place. |
| Unsuccessful |
Your child has not been given a place through the DSA-Sec, and must take part in the Secondary 1 posting process. |
Students with a confirmed offer or on a wait list will be able to submit up to 3 school preferences from 9am on Monday, 25 October 2021 to 3pm on Friday, 29 October 2021.
